CHICAGO (WLS) — The Chicago Board of Education meets Friday, just one day after the newly appointed president resigned.

Six mayoral board members have their first official meeting Friday morning without the Rev. Mitchell Johnson.

Johnson resigned on Thursday after a Jewish publication exposed dozens of controversial Facebook posts about women, 9/11 conspiracy theories and views on Israel.

Jewish mothers of Chicago public school students are relieved he is no longer at the helm of the Chicago Board of Education.

“My children are visibly Orthodox in Chicago public schools. And, I have to tell you, when I heard that our mayor was going to appoint someone to such a position, I had a visceral response,” said Estie Spero.

Governor JB Pritzker and more than 40 of Chicago’s 50 City Council members shared the same reaction after seeing the anti-Semitic remarks.

Now some are questioning Mayor Brandon Johnson’s vetting process for his new school board.

“How have they been vetted and do we need to look deeper into their background and make sure they are qualified to handle children?” said 50th Ward Ald. Debra Silverstein, the only Jewish member of the Chicago City Council.

Last month, CPS said the vetting process for all board members included “background checks, financial and conflict of interest investigations.”

So far, the new school board members have declined the City Council’s request to appear in chambers and answer questions.

Mayor Brandon Johnson said he will work promptly to find a new council president.
